Personally, I'll be amazed if either Watters or Harris ever prove to be good enough for this division. Their Championship stats are:

Harris - 24 (+29) appearances, 6 goals

Watters - 7 (+5) appearances, 1 goal

Carroll's Championship stats last season were:

17 (+6) appearances, 5 goals

And we know he's far more of a handful for defenders than either Watters or Harris. The former looked like a fish out of water on Saturday. Frankly, he was effectively useless. Is he likely to improve significantly on what we've seen from him so far? It would be good if he could, but I doubt it.
The unfortunate truth that a lot of City fans seem loathed to admit; well put TLG.
